OKLAHOMA CITY - A highway patrolman accused of having an affair with Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin while serving as her bodyguard was reinstated Thursday after investigators concluded the relationship was strictly platonic. Public Safety Commissioner Bob Ricks said he reinstated Trooper Greg Allen after a four-hour interrogation and polygraph examination. The trooper will receive a letter of admonishment and a two-day suspension without pay, and will be transferred from Fallin's security detail to traffic patrol, Ricks said.
